Twas in Action
Research grants lay a foundation for research in countries with scarce resources.
Sustainable development has always been at the heart of TWAS's mission, and recently the Academy has become increasingly alarmed by disruptions caused by climatic changes in developing countries. Climate change threatens to reverse decades of progress on poverty reduction and jeopardizes the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Contributing in this area is critical: Societies in the Global South need support to both develop in maximally sustainable ways and adopt strategies for mitigation and adaptation.
